Abstract

Unidirectional composite tapes comprising ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibres in a low density polyethylene matrix were produced by a dry powder impregnation technique. Tensile as well as X-ray diffraction studies were carried out to determine the influence of reprocessing on the composite properties. Tensile modulus was not strongly influenced, while tensile strength decreased on reprocessing. The decrease in tensile strength has been explained on the basis of X-ray diffraction patterns.
